Validator name: moul
Networks and AuM: gno.land only. Ran public full nodes on earlier gno.land networks (betanet, pearl) and currently validating on onyx-1. No assets under management: self-funded and self-operated, not a staking service.
Why validate on gno.land: I have contributed to gno.land since 2022 and run parts of its infrastructure daily. Validating on hardware I own, with the consensus key held in a hardware signer, is the setup I want the network to be able to rely on, and operating it myself is how the operational gaps a cloud node hides get found and fixed.
Contributions: long-standing contributor to gnolang/gno, author of developer tooling around it (gnopie, gnoblog, gnohome and others) and of several realms deployed on mainnet, GovDAO T1 member. This validator runs on-premises to help prove out the on-prem validator architecture the team is standardising on, and I report back what breaks.
Setup: on-premises bare metal, Debian 13, consensus key held in a YubiHSM 2 fronted by tmkms, behind a sentry node. The validator accepts no inbound connections from the public network and never dials it.
